Nope. I've had the ol' southern drawl creep in every now and then, but I never really pronounce anything differently.

I'm from Massachusetts, but I don't really have the Boston accent, nor do any of my friends. It comes out very rarely. Although I definitely do say "wicked" a lot. If anyone wants to hear me, I blab through most of my pedal demos.

I've lived in many places when I was young. I feel the way I talk reflects alittle of each place. Japan, Georgia, South Carolina, Hawaii and Florida. So its basically a normal american accent with a hint of southern twang, japanese, and I often end sentences with "ya?" which i picked up in Hawaii. Lots of "yalls." I pronounce certain words with a deeper southern accent and others with a slight asian accent lol. when singing loud and full, none of that shows.
I think i talk funny. but w/e.

One of my best buds in college had a girlfriend from MN, and she sounded exactly like everyone in "Fargo". I loved to just sit there and listen to her talk, and make a futile effort not to laugh.

I'll get a sound clip up eventually. I just can't listen to it myself or I'll go insane rerecording it.

fluctuates on a per-day basis 'cause english technically isn't my first language. on good days, I'm more or less passable for a native anglophone, on others, not so much.

Zero accent. There's a few small areas of the US - one of which is on part of long island (where I'm originally from) - that have what is considered completely unaccented English.
Kinda neat - until you find out that because of this I have trouble understanding what people are saying if they have more than just a slight accent of any kind. I say "what?" twice and then I just nod or make some noncommittal sounds.
